Do i have a serious health problem?

FutureCanMan · 10-07-2006, 11:57 PM

I have had some pains and weird feelings in my chest and stomach/rib area. Sometimes I feel my heart have a huge amount of pressure on it just for a second, then it would beat very weirdly for another second.

I would also have an extremly sharp pain in my midsection when I would try to breathe. I mean I would barely be able to breathe at all because the pain was too intense. The only way for me to get rid of it is to hold my breath or take extremely little breaths until it went away after around a minute.

Its been happening since I can remember, but the main thing thats been keeping me from getting it checked out is:

1. Having other problems that I needed to deal with.
2. Being an Idiot for not at least telling a doctor.
3. It does not happen that often. Maybe once or twice every 2 weeks.

Heres some info about me to maybe help:

1. 19 Years Old.
2. 5 foot 9 160 .
3. I do cardio 3-4 times a week and weightlifting as well.
4. I eat healthy.
5. I live with my parents at the moment, and they have smoked cigarettes ever since I've been little.
6. I do not smoke.
7. I do not drink.
8. I do not do drugs.
9. I have been having stress and depression problems for the past while.

Any help on if this is serious or what kind of condition this is. (or anything at all) would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Get that checked out bro. No use getting help from people on this board when you can go see a doctor that knows what they're talking about. Heh.

I guess I'm just echoing earlier sentiments but, you should see a doctor. Sherdog is not exactly the best place to diagnose respiratory problems.

Chest pain and cardiac arrythmia, nah nothing serious, suggest you go run a marathon.

Go To The Doctor

First of all.....go to the doctor. Second: does the does the weird heart beat happen along with the pain or is that separate? if it is separate it might be heart palpatations which are usuallly harmless. they happen to me sometimes too and can be brought on be anything from stress to a common cold.
as far as the pain with breathing....you should probably talk to a doctor but id say if this has been happening as long as you can remember and your not dead yet it's probably not life threatening.
GO TO THE DR.
this is not the place to ask for medical advise
